Chapter 4
While talking about their pasts and how good things seem to be going on the mutant issue in DC they visited a few more shops including EB Games. Gabriel and Rogue looked through the newest titles. Gabriel didn’t need any games because he had no game system to play it on, but he went ahead and purchased a few games that Rogue wanted.
Amara headed for the jewelry store while thinking about what Bobby has done to her and the hurt she felt. She was more angry at him than sad at the moment. She approached the front counter of the jewelry store and set down a box containing a friendship bracelet. She was given that bracelet from Bobby a few weeks ago.
“Yes can I help you young lady?” the store clerk asked.
“Can you tell me the value of this?” Amara opened the small box and handed the bracelet to the clerk.
The clerk inspected the bracelet and gave it back to Amara, “I’d say about fifty dollars”.
Amara was thinking about selling it to get back at Bobby and then thought better of it. Instead she put the bracelet back in the box thanked the clerk and left to go wait for the others in the food court.
Rogue’s cell phone rang, Rogue looked at the caller ID and answered. “Whatcha need Rahne?”
“Me and Jamie are going to stay here for the late show. You guys can just go ahead and leave whenever you’d like. I already called and arranged a ride home with Storm”.
“Ok I’ll let everyone else know.” Rogue smiled and ended the call.
“Who was that” Gabriel asked?
“It was just Rahne, she and Jamie are staying here for the late show and will get a ride home from Storm.”
Gabriel nodded. As they headed for Target Rogue suddenly slipped on a wet spot on the floor. Out of reflex Gabriel reached out and grabbed Rogue’s arm to steady her. The sleeve of Rogue’s shirt rode up to expose her bare skin to Gabriel’s touch. When she felt his hand touch her skin she braced herself for the flood of memories and powers. Once Rogue was standing steady again, it was only then that Gabriel noticed his hand on her uncovered skin. Rogue had a shocked and nervous look on her face, as Gabriel looked just as stunned. After about five seconds or so, Gabriel finally came to his senses and removed his hand from Rogue’s upper arm.
Nervously Rogue spoke “H..How were you able to touch me?”
Acting a little more calmly about the situation Gabriel said “I don’t know. It might be part of my mutation that is making me immune to your powers.” Boldly Gabriel said “I’d like to try that again but maybe over there in that small hallway”.
“I don’t know, maybe we should wait until we get back home where Beast can monitor us” Rogue said still a little nervous.
“Trust me nothing is going to happen.” And with that said Gabriel gently took Rogue’s hand and ran his thumb over the exposed skin on the back side of her glove.
Rogue was about ready to pull away but she felt nothing happening while Gabriel was touching her skin. Rogue’s look of nervousness was slowly being replaced with hope and joy. Rogue set down her purchases and took Gabriel in an embrace, their lips met for a short kiss until a mall security guard cleared his throat noisily behind them.
“Break it up you two or I’m going to have to ask you to leave” the security guard said gruffly.
The couple broke the embrace and Rogue picked up her purchases and they both walked off toward the Target store.
“Scheisekopf!” Gabriel said toward the guard once they were out of earshot of him.
Rogue quirked a smile and asked “What did you say to him?”
“I called him a shit head in German” Gabriel smiled back. He then looked serious and said “Maybe we should not tell the others right away that we can touch”.
Rogue agreed with him but only to the point of not telling everyone else until they told the adults first.
Gabriel and Rogue entered the food court at about nine twenty-three everything else was closed everywhere else in the mall except for the theaters that were right next to the food court. They found Amara reading a book at one of the tables near the door to the outside.
Amara looked up from her book “bout time you two get back. Where is Rahne and Jamie?”
“Storm is picking them up later, they’re staying for a late movie.” Rogue said.
“Ah, I see. Are we leaving now?” Amara asked while yawning.
Gabriel looked through the windows and noticed that it was not raining anymore. Then looked to Rogue and then Amara “Yep, All I got to do is signal Stormshadow once we get outside.”
Amara looked at Rogue and asked her about the black carrying bag Rogue had.
Rogue grinned “Its just something Gabriel gave me.”
“Cool, you can tell me all about it on the way home, I’m just so tired” Amara said.
As the group waited outside Stormshadow saw them and drove over to pick them up. Amara got in the backseat of the car while Gabriel and Rogue finished putting their bags in the trunk. Just then a woman with long flowing blonde hair approached them. The woman looked a little beat up.
“What happened? Are you ok?” Gabriel asked concerned.
“Do you got a phone I can use to call my friends?” The woman asked.
Gabriel thought the woman looked familiar to someone he’s seen on a TV show in his home dimension. “Sure, by the way what’s your name if I may ask?”
“What happened to ya” Rogue asked.
“My name is Shalimar Fox. I got carjacked by three armed and masked motherfuckers! They stole my purse with all my identification and credit cards!”
Gabriel’s mind was jumping for joy as he thought “Wow! This is the real Shalimar from Mutant X, but what is she doing here in the X-men Evolution dimension. Unless some universes coexist together if for example they’re both Marvel creations”. Gabriel filed these thoughts away for later. When he spoke he asked Rogue to get in the backseat and let Shalimar sit in front. When they got in the car Shalimar took one look at the dashboard with all its buttons and displays then she said something that made Amara start laughing “What’s all this? It looks like Darth Vaider’s bathroom.”
“I beg your pardon!” Stormshadow said sounding offended.
Gabriel looked at Shalimar and said “Shalimar meet Stormshadow. She’s the computer that runs this car.” He then asked Stormshadow to dial a number that would be provided by Shalimar.
Shalimar feeling a little awkward about talking to a car gave Stormshadow the phone number. The phone rang four times and went to a answering machine. She left a brief but detailed message and then told Stormshadow to hang up.
As they left the parking lot Gabriel called the mansion on the car phone and advised them of the situation.
Xavier knew a little about the group from Mutant X but kept quiet about this knowledge while talking to Gabriel on the phone. The professor asked to speak to Shalimar.
Shalimar’s voice broke into the line “This is Shalimar.”
Xavier’s voice came over the speaker phone “Gabriel tells me you were not able to contact your friends. You’re more than welcome to come stay here at my school till you can get a way back home.”
Shalimar did not know Charles Xavier or anyone else at the school in fact she didn’t even know she was in the company of other mutants. “That’s a nice offer but I can just stay at a shelter tonight” Shalimar said while contiplating asking Gabriel to drop her off at the nearest shelter.
“I’ll hear nothing of the sort, but if you don’t want to stay here at least let me set you up at a hotel” Xavier said sounding concerned.
“On second thought if the offer is still open I’ll go ahead and stay at your place if its no problem with you” Shalimar said.
“Not a problem, I’ll tell Logan to have a guest room set up for you.” Xavier said and hung up the phone.
Gabriel closed the connection and told Stormshadow to take over and drive them home.
“I’m sorry Gabriel I cannot take over, my autonomous mode subprocessor is not responding correctly.” Stormshadow said.
Rogue asked “Is there a problem and what does that message mean” while pointing at the center display screen on the dash. The message read “Command pathway cascade failure” under that it read “Warning! Main power driver coil is depolarizing”.
Gabriel stole a glance at the message in question and quickly pulled over and parked. “BLOODY FUCKING HELL! What a nice time for this shit to happen! FUCK!”
While Gabriel pushed a few buttons and tried the key Shalimar said “Would you please keep your language under control. What seems to be the problem?”
“Do you need me to call a tow truck?” Amara offered while reaching for her cell phone.
“Nope! It should be a simple fix. I hope” saying the last part quietly to himself. He reached over and opened the panel in front of Shalimar. After moving a few isolinear chips around and pushing a few buttons inside the panel. He closed the panel and tried the key again. This time the engine came to life. The display screen read “Manual override engaged.” Gabriel looked pleased and said “See no problem, this happened to me before.”
